![]() ![]() This provides programs like FLDigi, JS8Call, WSJTX, CQRLog, PAT (Winlink), Packet Radio and satellite tracking software. One 12V Anderson Powerpole connection powers the 12V Monitor and the Raspberry Pi is powered by the USB port on the monitor. In all, the new Raspbian OS is VERY Ham-Friendly! The ham apps can all control rigs one at a time without that. But not to worry, these are optional features. Sharing rig control between applications is cool, but Hamlib and rigctld do take a little longer to set up. Raspbian Buster has come out and it is very stable and user-friendly! After just a few clicks (and ZERO time spent in the command line), I had FLDigi, J28Call, CQRLog and WSJTX running! Also, Bluetooth now works flawlessly and wifi is a breeze to set up.Īfter that, setting up Pat for Winlink took 5 minutes to install and configure. I highly recommend getting one and looking around at all the things it can do on 5V 1A. Good build, it’s rock solid! The Raspberry Pi is like a Lego Set for the technical mind. Linux takes a little getting used to – but once you have a If you want to install BPQ on a Raspberry Pi, see this and thisĪn APRS iGate is also served by this little RPi. The above BPQ and LinBPQ are, in my opinion, the best options out there for server-side ops. If you want to set up a server/gateway on a Raspberry Pi or PC, here’s the software: Winlink Express is like a standard email client and looks like this: In short, it does just about anything you can do with a computer and a few radios.Īll this in something about the size of a bar of soap, all on 5v/1A minimal power.Ĭlient stations (using a laptop or a home computer) only need Winlink Express and/or Pat, Outpost, or Airmail. It forwards to other BBS stations along the 223.6 packet backboneįor RF forwarding of BBS messages to most parts of Northern California and beyond. It allows users to upload and download files such as IC-213 forms, It can forward BBS messages and route them automatically over RF or the internet It has an HF port serving ARDOP for the Winlink system on 80M and 20M (check for the latest frequencies) It offers tunneling to distant nodes over TCP/IP. ![]() It has 2 VHF ports (so far), serving a packet node, full-service BBS with forwarding, and Winlink Gateways on two VHF frequencies. But that’s just for starters! It runs on 5V / 1A DC and can be powered on 12V by about. The CAT driver error is now rare.Ĭonnect ELAD and Raspberry Pi: Connect sound card and CAT from the transceiver via USB to the Raspberry Pi and select it in the settings of Fldigi and WSJT-X.So what does this thinga-ma-bob do exactly? Well for starters it does just about everything a Windows machine (without M$, thanks to Linux) and a Kantronics TNC can do. He works really well with the ELAD FDM DUO. It is very easy to use for radio amateurs. I guess it is a problem with the USB interface of the ELAD. Unfortunately, there is always the possibility that the CAT driver will make a mistake when using WSJT-X and the program will hang up. For this i installed Fldigi and WSJT-X on my iMac under OS-X and Windows 10 (Parallels Desktop). Fldigi (short for Fast light digital) is a free and open-source program which allows an ordinary computers sound card to be used as a simple two-way data modem. In my workplace i like to use the ELAD FDM DUO for PSK31 and WSJT-X (WSPR). How can i use a Raspberry Pi3 for Fldigi and WSJT-X (WSPR) April 2017 in General by Karl-Heinz Krawczyk ![]()
